How to create apps for mobiles which are using KaiOS?
I recently found in news that KaiOS http://www.kaiostech.com/ has been used in 4G Volte Enabled feature mobile phones. I was wondering how one can create apps for KaiOS. Any help on creating apps for KaiOS has been greatly appreciated.

This is in the FAQs of KaiOS offical website:
Can I develop apps for KaiOS?
KaiOS is a curated platform for apps and we are working closely with
app developers to provide the best experience for our users. At the
moment we are not accepting submissions into the Store, but will do so
in the future.

Guess you could leave your contact email there and will get updates in the near future.
Already send a query to them about app development for KaiOS but apart from auto generated response mail, still waiting for answers.

KaiOS is based on Mozilla's open source B2G OS. The apps are built purely with HTML/JS/CSS stack and any web application/website that is mobile friendly can be an app with just minor modifications. You can use the inbuilt webIDE to build apps for Mozilla OS, see more here.

I used to build apps for Firefox OS before it was dead lets hope to see whether it's reincarnation succeeds.
I will try making apps when I get my hands on the Jio Phone and will update here.

@dsaket I guess you have to wait until JIO phones roll out, I even raised a query on KaiOS on building apps and still waiting for a response.

So far no luck, I tried to connect JIO phone to the Mozilla debugger but it did not recognize.

Sent a query to the kaios team and this is their response,Hi there, I’m sorry you haven’t heard back from us on this. We’ve been extremely busy with the launch and delivery of the JioPhone. For these type of inquiries we’re still coordinating between Jio and ourselves how these should be handled and by whom. I expect to give you a clearer answer on this in the coming weeks. Thanks for your patience and let me know if you have any other questions in the meantime. Kind regards, Tim Metz Sent from mobile

KaiOS is the 'bare' linux-based OS. The Volt has it's own 'UI', 'Feature Phone Features' and framework, drivers, etc on top. Can write a simple 'hello world', no problem (all x86 target?) - need to hookup IO of course.
